10 Ikea hacks for your camper
1. NEREBY fabric container
Ikea hack number 1 is a great addition to the spice rack - the NEREBY fabric container (from €3.99) . This fits on the front bar of the spice rack that many people have now installed in their camper.
The NEREBY bag is one of the super Ikea hacks not only in the kitchen, but also in the bedroom or in the camping bathroom. This multifunctional bag can store small items such as notepads, small toys, flashlights, headphones and even your cell phone. This way you always have everything to hand and neatly stowed away at the same time.
2. IVAR hook
Another Ikea hack classic: the IVAR hooks (3 pieces for €2) . Ikea offers a whole range of different hooks. However, make sure that the hooks are not too deep so that you don't damage your cupboard fronts.
Particularly useful for kitchen towels or camper keys.
3. KUNGSFORS fabric net
Other practical Ikea hacks include: KUNGSFORS fabric net (2 bags for €4.99) . This is perfect for storing fruit and looks super stylish too. You've probably seen the gorgeous van life pictures on social media where fabric nets like this are often used. They give your camper a touch of boho chic and are extremely functional at the same time.
A hot tip for all families with children: These fabric nets are also ideal for storing beach toys. This allows the sand to trickle through perfectly and not end up in the camper.
4. RESGODS tray
Breakfast in the camping bed or a cozy picnic in front of the motorhome - these are the moments that make camping holidays so special. And this is exactly where the RESGODS tray (for €19.99) comes into play. This practical little helper is not only stylish, but also extremely functional.
The best thing about it: The RESGODS tray is foldable and can therefore be easily stowed away. In a camper, where every centimeter counts, this is an unbeatable advantage. It takes up hardly any space and is ready for use again in no time.
5. KLIPPKAKTUS storage box for refrigerator
6. VÄLVÅRDAD dish drainer
Other Ikea hacks include the VÄLVÅRDAD dish drainer (€4.99) . Small and compact, it can be easily stored anywhere and ensures order when washing dishes. Ideal for anyone who needs a lot of storage space in a small space.
But we have an even more exciting solution for you: dish mat from Udry. This is made of microfibers and can be folded up , making it three times its size. It also absorbs moisture and ensures that the dishes dry quickly. The integrated rack ensures that everything is compact and space-saving and that the plates can still dry well.
However, the Ikea version is also attractive for the smaller budget and definitely worth mentioning. Depending on your needs, we recommend both products. The Udry dish mat for maximum efficiency and the VÄLVÅRDAD dish drainer for a cost-effective yet practical solution.
7. GLISBox
The GLIS Box (4.99€) should not only find a place in every home, but also in the camper.
Whether for storing batteries for the fairy lights, as a small first aid kit for emergencies, as a toolbox for nails and screws or as a craft box for the kids - the GLIS Box offers countless possibilities to create order and clarity in the camper.
With these Ikea hacks you can further optimize your camper and be well prepared for every situation.
8. BRÖGGAN floor cushion
The BRÖGGAN floor cushion (€24.99) is a real eye-catcher for camping holidays. Thanks to the practical handle, it is easy to transport and is therefore ideal for on the go. The cover is durable, made of recycled polyester and removable - perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
Whether as a comfortable place to sit in front of the motorhome, in the awning or as an additional place to sit at a picnic, the BRÖGGAN floor cushion brings comfort and style to your everyday camping life. Thanks to its easy-care handling and attractive design, it is a wonderful addition for every camper who values practical and at the same time beautiful solutions.
A beautiful alternative and perfect for a slightly higher budget is the Jutta seat cushion. This boho-style cushion with a jute cover is an absolute eye-catcher. It can be used not only as a stylish side table, but also as a comfortable seat.
With its natural texture and warm colors, the Jutta seat cushion blends harmoniously into any camping setup and gives your camper a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
